You need to load the dependencies with the global loading flag.  This 
will require a CVS version of ctypes:

GL = OpenGL = ctypes.CDLL(
    ctypes.util.find_library('GL'),
    mode=ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL
)
GLU = ctypes.CDLL(
    ctypes.util.find_library('GLU'),
    mode=ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL
)
# glut shouldn't need to be global, but just in case a dependent library 
makes
# the same assumption GLUT does...
GLUT = ctypes.CDLL(
    ctypes.util.find_library('glut'),
    mode=ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL
)
GLE = ctypes.CDLL(
    ctypes.util.find_library('gle'),
    mode=ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL
)

HTH,
Mike
